TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to an antenna structure and an electronic device having
the antenna structure.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Currently, to enhance a sense of quality of electronic devices such as mobile phones
and personal digital assistants, metal is increasingly applied to industry design
(industry design, ID) of the electronic devices, for example, a metal frame. In the
industry design that uses the metal frame, designing the metal frame into an antenna
becomes a direction of antenna design.
[0003] In the prior art, low band (LB) performance is implemented mainly by using a side
longitudinal component, for example, a side inverted-F antenna (inverted-F antenna,
IFA) mode or an active antenna longitudinal mode. However, as big screens such as
curved screens become popular, side metal frame bodies of mobile phones become thinner
(narrower). Therefore, as curved screens approach the extreme and side frame bodies
and side surroundings become weaker, antenna performance with a side frame body as
a main radiation antenna declines sharply, and cannot meet a requirement for low band
(LB) performance.

[0038] Also referring to FIG. 3, the antenna structure 100 includes at least a frame body,
a first feed-in part 12, a second feed-in part 13, a first connection part 15, a second
connection part 17, and a third connection part 18.
[0039] The frame body is at least partially made of a metal material. In this embodiment,
the frame body is the frame 111 of the electronic device 200. The frame 111 includes
at least a first part 115, a second part 116, and a third part 117. In this embodiment,
the first part 115 is a bottom end of the electronic device 200, that is, the first

100 forms a lower antenna of the electronic device 200. The second part 116 and the
third part 117 face toward each other, are disposed at two ends of the first part
115 respectively, and are preferably arranged vertically. In this embodiment, a length
of the second part 116 or a length of the third part 117 is greater than a length
of the first part 115. That is, both the second part 116 and the third part 117 are
side metal frames of the electronic device 200.
[0040] At least one slot is further provided in the frame 111. In this embodiment, three
slots are provided in the frame 111: a first slot 120, a second slot 121, and a third
slot 122. The first slot 120 and the third slot 122 are provided in the first part
115 at an interval. The second slot 121 is provided in the second part 116. The first
slot 120 is closer to the second part 116 than the third slot 122. The third slot
122 is closer to the third part 117 than the first slot 120.
[0041] It may be understood that, in this embodiment, the antenna structure 100 further

[0042] In this embodiment, the first slot 120, the second slot 121, and the third slot 122
all run through and cut off the frame 111. The at least one slot and the ground point
19 jointly mark out at least two radiation parts on the frame 111. In this embodiment,
the first slot 120, the second slot 121, the third slot 122, and the ground point
19 jointly mark out a first radiation part F1 and a second radiation part F2 on the
frame 111. In this embodiment, a part of the frame 111 between the first slot 120
and the second slot 121 forms the first radiation part F1. A part of the frame 111
between the third slot 122 and the ground point 19 forms the second radiation part
F2. That is, the first radiation part F1 is disposed in a lower right corner of the
electronic device 200 and is formed with a part of the first part 115 and a part of
the second part 116. The second radiation part F2 is disposed in a lower left corner
of the electronic device 200 and is formed with a part of the first part 115 and a
part of the third part 117. An electrical length of the first radiation part F1 is

[0043] It may be understood that, in this embodiment, the first slot 120, the second slot
121, and the third slot 122 each are filled with insulating material such as plastic,
rubber, glass, wood, or ceramic, but are not limited thereto.
[0044] It may be understood that, in this embodiment, a width of the first slot 120, a width
of the second slot 121, and a width of the third slot 122 are all small, for example,
may range from 0.5 millimeter (mm) to 2 mm. In a preferred solution, a width of the
first slot 120, a width of the second slot 121, and a width of the third slot 122
each may be 0.8 mm, 1 mm, or 1.2 mm.
[0045] It may be understood that, in this embodiment, the first feed-in part 12 is located
in the housing 11. The first feed-in part 12 is disposed on the first radiation part
F1 and located on the first part 115. The first feed-in part 12 may be electrically
connected to a first feed 202 by using a dome, a microstrip, a strip, a coaxial cable,
or the like, to feed a current signal into the first radiation part F1.
[0046] The second feed-in part 13 is disposed in the housing 11. The second feed-in part
13 is disposed on the second radiation part F2 and located on the first part 115.
The second feed-in part 13 may be electrically connected to a second feed 203 by using
a dome, a microstrip, a strip, a coaxial cable, or the like, to feed a current signal
into the second radiation part F2.
[0047] It may be understood that, in this embodiment, the first feed-in part 12 and the
second feed-in part 13 may be made of a material such as iron, copper foil, or a conductor
in a laser direct structuring (Laser Direct structuring, LDS) process.
[0048] The first connection part 15 is disposed on the first radiation part F1 and located
on the second part 116. The second connection part 17 is disposed on the first radiation
part F1 and located on the second part 116. That is, in this embodiment, the first
connection part 15 and the second connection part 17 are disposed on the second part
116 at an interval, and a distance from the first connection part 15 to the second
slot 121 is less than a distance from the second connection part 17 to the second
slot 121. That is, the first connection part 15 is closer to the second slot 121 than
the second connection part 17.
[0049] The third connection part 18 is disposed in the housing 11. In this embodiment, the
third connection part 18 is disposed on the second radiation part F2 and located on
the first part 115. The third connection part 18 is closer to the third part 117 than
the second feed-in part 13.
[0050] It may be understood that, in this embodiment, an electrical length L (referring
to FIG. 3) of the first radiation part F1 is adjusted, so that the electrical length
L is approximately one-half of a wavelength corresponding to resonance frequency thereof.
Therefore, when current is fed into the first feed-in part 12, the first radiation
part F1 may generate a resonance by using a half wave mode. In this case, a radiation
mode of the antenna structure 100 is a longitudinal mode. In addition, when current
is fed into the first feed-in part 12, the first radiation part F1 may alternatively
generate a resonance by using a composite right/left handed (composite right/left
handed, CRLH) mode. In this case, a radiation mode of the antenna structure 100 is
a transverse mode. That is, when current is fed into the first feed-in part 12, the
first radiation part F1 may generate a radiation signal in a first radiation band
by using both the CRLH mode and the half wave mode to initiate a first operating mode.
In this embodiment, the first operating mode is a low band (low band, LB) mode. Frequency
of the first radiation band includes, but is not limited to bands such as LTE B28/B5/B8.
[0051] It may be understood that the longitudinal mode may refer to a radiation mode that
the longitudinal side metal frame (for example, the second part 116) serves as a main
radiator to radiate outward. The transverse mode may refer to a radiation mode that
the transverse bottom metal frame (for example, the first part 115) serves as a main
radiator to radiate outward.
[0052] It may be understood that when current is fed into the first feed-in part 12, the
CRLH mode is used as a main resonance mode, and this mode has, different from the
inverted F antenna (inverted F antenna, IFA) mode, the characteristics of miniaturization
and being mainly based on transverse components, thereby being less affected by side
radiators or curved screens. In addition, the antenna structure 100 with a slot (that
is, the second slot 121) provided in its side, for example, the second part 116 may
help improve a longitudinal component of a side radiator, so as to ensure that the
antenna structure 100 has relatively good LB radiation performance.
[0053] When current is fed into the second feed-in part 13, the antenna structure 100 may
generate a radiation signal in a second radiation band by using both the CRLH mode
and a parasitic mode to initiate a second operating mode. The second operating mode
is a medium/high band (middle/high band, MHB) mode. Frequency of the second radiation
band includes, but is not limited to bands such as LTE B1/B3/B4/B7/B38/B39/B40/B41,
WCDMA B1/B2, and GSM 1800/1900.
[0054] It may be understood that with the development of information technologies, the public
enjoys convenience brought by the information technologies and also focuses on harm
of electromagnetic radiation of wireless communications terminals to human bodies.
A specific absorption rate (Specific Absorption Rate, SAR) is an important indicator
of a mobile phone and also is the content that an antenna engineer pays the special
attention to during antenna design. Generally, a total radiated power (Total Radiated
Power, TRP) of the electronic device is closely associated with SAR. However, in actual
antenna design, radiation power of a mobile phone is reduced to control the SAR under
normal conditions. For example, FIG. 4A, FIG. 4B, and FIG. 4C are schematic diagrams
of existing three antenna solutions. In the three antenna solutions, an SAR sensor
(Sensor) is added for scenario determination to obtain different SAR values, and then
radiation power of a mobile phone is reduced to meet an SAR requirement. However,
only reducing radiation power of a mobile terminal to control the SAR damages radio
performance of a product, affects user experience, and also reduces competitiveness
of a product.
[0055] In the antenna structure 100, the second radiation part F2 uses two resonance modes,
including a CRLH mode and a parasitic mode. The CRLH mode is located on a side of
the second feed-in part 13 The CRLH mode is located on a same side as the second feed-in
part 13. Therefore, a current distribution area of the CRLH mode is increased (for
example, an electrical length of the second radiation part F2 is adjusted or increased),
the parasitic mode of the second radiation part F2 strides across the first slot 120
and the third slot 122, and a part of the frame 111 between the first slot 120 and
the first connection part 15 forms a parasitic stub, so as to disperse current distribution,
so that the antenna structure 100 may operate on a middle/high band and has the characteristic
of relatively low SAR without reducing its radiation power. That is, as shown in FIG.
3, an area 1 forms an MHB area of the antenna structure 100. That is, the second radiation
part F2 is mainly in the CRLH mode, the parasitic mode of the second radiation part
F2 strides across the first slot 120 and the third slot 122, so that a part of the
frame 111 between the first slot 120 and the first connection part 15 forms a parasitic
stub. In addition, in the figure, an area 2 forms an LB area of the antenna structure
100.
[0056] FIG. 5A, FIG. 5B, and FIG. 5C are schematic diagrams of three different MHB design
solutions. FIG. 5A uses a long left handed and far parasitic mode, FIG. 5B uses a
short left handed and far parasitic mode, and FIG. 5C uses a short left handed and
near parasitic mode. Long left handed and short left handed mean that an electrical
length of the second radiation part F2 in FIG. 5A is greater than an electrical length
of the second radiation part F2 in FIG. 5B and FIG. 5C. Far parasitic and near parasitic
refer to a parasitic stub farther away from the second radiation part F2 (for example,
a part of the frame 111 between the first slot 120 and the first connection part 15,
referring to FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B) and a parasitic stub nearer to the second radiation
part F2 (for example, a part of the frame 111 between the first slot 120 and the third
slot 122, referring to FIG. 5C), respectively. Clearly, it has been found through
simulation for SAR values in the foregoing three solutions that, in the solution in
the FIG. 5A (that is, the solution used in this specification), a component tangent
to a magnetic field (H field) is more dispersed, and the characteristic of a relatively
low SAR value is implemented.
[0057] It may be understood that, in this embodiment, the antenna structure 100 further
includes a first tuning unit SW1, a second tuning unit SW2, and a third tuning unit
SW3. One end of the first tuning unit SW1 is electrically connected to the first feed-in
part 12, and the other end is grounded. The first tuning unit SW1 is configured to
perform port matching and tuning and frequency adjustment on the first radiation part
F1.
[0058] One end of the second tuning unit SW2 is electrically connected to the first connection
part 15 and the second connection part 17. The other end of the second tuning unit
SW2 is grounded.
[0059] It may be understood that, in this embodiment, the second tuning unit SW2 forms a
multiplex switch, that is, the first connection part 15 and the second connection
part 17 share the second tuning unit SW2. The first connection part 15 may be switched
to different tuning branches by using the second tuning unit SW2, so as to adjust
a frequency and longitudinal component. For example, the first connection part 15
may be switched or adjusted to a zero-ohm resistor or a 1-nanohenry (nH)/2-nH inductor
by using the second tuning unit SW2, so as to slightly adjust a frequency and longitudinal
component of the first radiation part F1. The second connection part 17 adjusts a
parasitic resonance frequency of the second radiation part F2 by using the second
tuning unit SW2.
[0060] One end of the third tuning unit SW3 is electrically connected to the second feed-in
part 13 and the third connection part 18, and the other end is grounded. The third
tuning unit SW3 is configured to perform frequency tuning on the CRLH mode of the
second radiation part F2. In addition, frequency tuning may be performed on the parasitic
mode of the second radiation part F2 by using the first tuning unit SW1. In a preferred
solution auxiliary tuning may be further performed on the parasitic mode of the second
radiation part F2 by using the second tuning unit SW2 on the basis of the first tuning
unit SW1. That is, tuning is performed on the CRLH mode of the second radiation part
F2 mainly by using the third tuning unit SW3. Tuning is performed on the parasitic
mode of the second radiation part F2 by using the first tuning unit SW1 and the second
tuning unit SW2.
[0061] It may be understood that the foregoing tuning units, for example, the first tuning
unit SW1, the second tuning unit SW2, and the third tuning unit SW3 each may, but
are not limited to, be formed by combining a plurality of single pole single throw
(single pole single throw, SPST) switches. For example, referring to FIG. 6, the tuning
unit may include at least one switch unit, for example, three SPST switches: a switch
61, a switch 62, and a switch 63. One end of each switch unit is grounded, and the
other end may be connected to a corresponding tuning branch. For example, the switch
61 is connected to a tuning branch L1, the switch 62 is connected to a tuning branch
L2, and a switch 63 is connected to a tuning branch L3. The tuning branches L1, L2,
and L3 each may include a capacitor or an inductor. The tuning units may selectively
turn on different tuning branches to implement frequency adjustment.
[0062] Certainly, in other embodiments, the tuning units, for example, the first tuning
unit SW1, the second tuning unit SW2, and the third tuning unit SW3 may further include
another type of switch units, and are not limited to the foregoing SPST switches.
[0063] It may be understood that, in this embodiment, the antenna structure 100 cooperates
with joint tuning of the tuning units, for example, the first tuning unit SW1, the
second tuning unit SW2, and the third tuning unit SW3, so that free space (free space,
FS) efficiency in the low band mode can be improved. In addition, parasitic resonance
in a middle/high band mode can be adjusted, so that performance and low SAR characteristic
in the middle/high band mode are ensured.
[0064] It may be understood that FS efficiency refers to efficiency of the antenna structure
100 in the low band mode when the electronic device 200 is not held by a user.
[0065] FIG. 7 is a curve graph of S parameter (scattering parameter) and radiation efficiency
of the antenna structure 100 operating in a low band mode. A curve S41 indicates S11
values of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B28 band. A curve S42 indicates
the S11 values of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B5 band. A curve S43
indicates the S11 values of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B8 band.

on an LTE B28 band. A curve S45 indicates the radiation efficiency of the antenna
structure 100 operating on the LTE B5 band. A curve S46 indicates the radiation efficiency
of the antenna structure 100 operating on the LTE B8 band. A curve S47 indicates system
efficiency of the antenna structure 100 operating on the LTE B28 band. A curve S48
indicates the system efficiency of the antenna structure 100 operating on the LTE
B5 band. A curve S49 indicates the system efficiency of the antenna structure 100
operating on the LTE B8 band.
[0066] FIG. 8 is a curve graph of S parameter (scattering parameter) and system efficiency
of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B5 band. A curve S51 indicates S11
values of the antenna structure 100 operating on the an LTE B5 band. A curve S52 indicates
system efficiency of the antenna structure 100 operating on the LTE B5 band.
[0067] FIG. 9 is a schematic current diagram of a resonance 1 of the antenna structure 100
operating on an LTE B5 band. FIG. 10 is a schematic current diagram of a resonance
2 of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B5 band. It may be learned from
FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 that as the first radiation part F1 performs feeding at the bottom,
the resonance 1 radiates mainly by using the CRLH mode, that is, the transverse mode.
In addition, in a side grounding position of the antenna structure 100, that is, a
position of the first connection part 15 and the second connection part 17, the frame
body (that is, the first radiation part F1) is in an antenna large-current area to
form a maximum current density Jmax. Therefore, a parasitic resistor that includes
the second tuning unit SW2 greatly affects low band efficiency of the antenna structure
100. It may be learned from FIG. 8 and FIG. 10 that when the first radiation part
F1 operates at the resonance 2, the resonance 2 radiates mainly by using the half
wave mode, that is, the longitudinal mode. In addition, current is fed into the first
feed-in part 12, flows through the first radiation part F1, and then radiates out
of the first slot 120 and the second slot 121 in two ends of the first radiation part
F1.
[0068] FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 each illustrate an effect of on-resistance (Ron), generated by
the first connection part 15 connected to the second tuning unit SW2, on antenna performance.
A curve S81 indicates S11 values of the antenna structure 100 when on-resistance (Ron)
is 2 ohms. A curve S82 indicates the S11 values of the antenna structure 100 when
on-resistance (Ron) is 1.5 ohms. A curve S83 indicates the S11 values of the antenna
structure 100 when on-resistance (Ron) is 1 ohm. A curve S84 indicates the S11 values
of the antenna structure 100 when on-resistance (Ron) is 0.5 ohm. A curve S85 indicates
the S11 values of the antenna structure 100 when on-resistance (Ron) is 0 ohms. A
curve S91 indicates radiation efficiency of the antenna structure 100 when on-resistance
(Ron) is 2 ohms. A curve S92 indicates the radiation efficiency of the antenna structure
100 when on-resistance (Ron) is 1.5 ohms. A curve S93 indicates the radiation efficiency
of the antenna structure 100 when on-resistance (Ron) is 1 ohm. A curve S94 indicates
the radiation efficiency of the antenna structure 100 when on-resistance (Ron) is
0.5 ohm. A curve S95 indicates the radiation efficiency of the antenna structure 100
when on-resistance (Ron) is 0 ohms.
[0069] Clearly, it may be learned from FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 that when on-resistance (Ron)
is 2 ohms, the effect is approximately 1.6 dB. When on-resistance (Ron) is 1 ohm,
the effect is approximately 0.9 dB. That is, an effect of on-resistance (Ron) of the
first connection part 15 on antenna efficiency is relatively large. Therefore, in
this embodiment, for a low band (LB), the first connection part 15 may be designed
to be directly grounded, for example, directly grounded by using a zero-ohm resistor
other than on-resistance (Ron) of the second tuning unit SW2.
[0070] FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 each illustrate an effect of on-resistance (Ron), generated by
the second connection part 17 connected to the second tuning unit SW2, on antenna
performance. A curve S101 indicates S11 values of the antenna structure 100 when on-resistance
(Ron) is 2 ohms. A curve S102 indicates the S11 values of the antenna structure 100
when on-resistance (Ron) is 1 ohm. A curve S103 indicates the S11 values of the antenna
structure 100 when on-resistance (Ron) is 0 ohms. A curve S111 indicates radiation
efficiency of the antenna structure 100 when on-resistance (Ron) is 2 ohms. A curve
S112 indicates the radiation efficiency of the antenna structure 100 when on-resistance
(Ron) is 1 ohm. A curve S113 indicates the radiation efficiency of the antenna structure
100 when on-resistance (Ron) is 0 ohms.
[0071] Clearly, it may be learned from FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 that when the second tuning unit
SW2 uses three single pole single throw (single pole single throw, SPST) switches,
on-resistance (Ron) of the second tuning unit SW2 is 2 ohms, and an effect is approximately
0.4 dB. When the second tuning unit SW2 uses four SPST switches, on-resistance (Ron)
of the second tuning unit SW2 is 1 ohm, and an effect is approximately 0.2 dB. That
is, an effect of the second connection part 17 on the antenna structure 100 is relatively
small. Therefore, switches with relatively small on-resistance (Ron), for example,
4SPST switches may be selected, so as to reduce an effect of on-resistance (Ron) of
the second connection part 17 on antenna efficiency when the first tuning unit SW1
is used to perform port tuning in a low band.
[0072] It may be understood that FIG. 15 is a curve graph of S parameter (scattering parameter)
and radiation efficiency of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B28 band
when the antenna structure 100 is provided with a second slot 121 or not provided
with a second slot 121 on a side. A curve S121 indicates S11 values of the antenna
structure 100 operating on an LTE B28 band when the second slot 121 is provided. A
curve S122 indicates radiation efficiency of the antenna structure 100 operating on
an LTE B28 band when the second slot 121 is provided. A curve S123 indicates system
efficiency of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B28 band when the second
slot 121 is provided. A curve S124 indicates the S11 values of the antenna structure
100 operating on an LTE B28 band when the second slot 121 is not provided. A curve
S125 indicates the radiation efficiency of the antenna structure 100 operating on
an LTE B28 band when the second slot 121 is not provided. A curve S126 indicates the
system efficiency of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B28 band when the
second slot 121 is not provided.
[0073] FIG. 16 is a curve graph of S parameter (scattering parameter) and radiation efficiency
of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B5 band when the antenna structure
100 is provided with a second slot 121 or not provided with a second slot 121 on a
side. A curve S131 indicates S11 values of the antenna structure 100 operating on
an LTE B5 band when the second slot 121 is provided. A curve S132 indicates radiation
efficiency of the antenna structure 100 operating on the LTE B5 band when the second
slot 121 is provided. A curve S133 indicates system efficiency of the antenna structure
100 operating on the LTE B5 band when the second slot 121 is provided. A curve S134
indicates the S11 values of the antenna structure 100 operating on the LTE B5 band
when the second slot 121 is not provided. A curve S135 indicates the radiation efficiency
of the antenna structure 100 operating on the LTE B5 band when the second slot 121
is not provided. A curve S136 indicates the system efficiency of the antenna structure
100 operating on the LTE B5 band when the second slot 121 is not provided.
[0074] FIG. 17 is a curve graph of S parameter (scattering parameter) and radiation efficiency
of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B8 band when the antenna structure
100 is provided with a second slot 121 or not provided with a second slot 121 on a
side. A curve S141 indicates S11 values of the antenna structure 100 operating on
an LTE B8 band when the second slot 121 is provided. A curve S142 indicates radiation
efficiency of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B8 band when the second
slot 121 is provided. A curve S143 indicates system efficiency of the antenna structure
100 operating on an LTE B8 band when the second slot 121 is provided. A curve S144
indicates the S11 values of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B8 band
when the second slot 121 is not provided. A curve S145 indicates the radiation efficiency
of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B8 band when the second slot 121
is not provided. A curve S146 indicates the system efficiency of the antenna structure
100 operating on an LTE B8 band when the second slot 121 is not provided.
[0075] Clearly, it may be learned from FIG. 15 to FIG. 17 that when the antenna structure
100 is provided with the second slot 121, low band (LB) performance of the antenna
structure 100 is improved by 1 dB to 1.5 dB compared with an existing solution in
which the slot is not provided, and relatively good FS performance is implemented.
[0076] It may be understood that referring back to FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the electronic
device 200 further includes at least one electronic element. In this embodiment, the
electronic device 200 includes at least three electronic elements: a first electronic
element 21, a second electronic element 22, and a third electronic element 23. The
first electronic element 21, the second electronic element 22, and the third electronic
element 23 are all disposed in the housing 11.
[0077] In this embodiment, the first electronic element 21 is a universal serial bus (Universal
Serial Bus, USB) interface module. The first electronic element 21 is located between
the first slot 120 and the third slot 122. The second electronic element 22 is a sound
cavity. The second electronic element 22 is disposed between the third slot 122 and
the third part 117. The third electronic element 23 is a subscriber identity module
(Subscriber Identity Module, SIM) card holder. The third electronic element 23 is
disposed between the third first feed-in part 12 and the second part 116.
[0078] It may be understood that, in other embodiments, a part of the frame 111 between
the first slot 120 and the third slot 122 in the antenna structure 100 may alternatively
form a parasitic stub F3 in a low band mode. The parasitic stub F3 is spaced from
both the first radiation part F1 and the second radiation part F2, that is, arranged
in an overhanging manner. FIG. 18 is a curve graph of S parameter (scattering parameter)
and radiation efficiency of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B28 band
when tuning is performed or not performed on the parasitic stub F3. A curve S151 indicates
S11 values of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B28 band when tuning is
not performed on the parasitic stub F3. A curve S152 indicates radiation efficiency
of the antenna structure 100 operating on an LTE B28 band when tuning is not performed
on the parasitic stub F3. A curve S153 indicates the S11 values of the antenna structure
100 operating on an LTE B28 band when tuning is performed on the parasitic stub F3.
A curve S154 indicates the radiation efficiency of the antenna structure 100 operating
on an LTE B28 band when tuning is performed on the parasitic stub F3.
[0079] Clearly, when a part of the frame 111 between the first slot 120 and the third slot
122 in the antenna structure 100 forms the parasitic stub F3 in a low band mode, the
antenna structure 100 may generate an additional resonance 3. It may be learned from
FIG. 18 that when tuning is performed on the parasitic stub F3, the resonance 3 may
be shifted into an effective band of the first radiation part F1, and radiation efficiency
in the LTE B28 band is improved significantly.
[0080] It may be understood that, in an embodiment, tuning may be performed on the parasitic
stub F3 in a low band mode by using the first tuning unit SW1, that is, multiplexing
the first tuning unit SW1. Certainly, in other embodiments, a corresponding switch
unit may also be additionally arranged, to perform tuning on the parasitic stub F3
in a low band mode.
[0081] It may be understood that, in this embodiment, the second radiation part F2 is disposed
on a same side as the second electronic element 22. Certainly, in other embodiments,
position of the second radiation part F2 may be adjusted as needed. For example, the
second radiation part F2 may be disposed on a same side as the third electronic element
23, while the first radiation part F1 is disposed on a side of the second electronic
element 22. That is, positions of the first radiation part F1 and the second radiation
part F2 may be adjusted (for example, be interchanged) as needed.
[0082] It may be understood that, in this embodiment, the antenna structure 100 performs
separate feeding by using a low band and middle/high band separate feed-in mode, that
is, by using the first feed-in part 12 and the second feed-in part 13, and is provided
with the first tuning unit SW1, the second tuning unit SW2, and the third tuning unit
SW3. An on-off state of the first tuning unit SW1, an on-off state of the second tuning
unit SW2, and an on-off state of the third tuning unit SW3 are controlled/adjusted,
so that full coverage of LB/MB/HB is effectively implemented, and also a middle/high
band (MHB) low SAR characteristic and relatively good low band (LB) radiation performance
are implemented.
[0083] It may be understood that, as described above, in this embodiment, the frame body
of the antenna structure 100 is directly formed by the frame 111 of the electronic
device 200, that is, the chassis (frame) of the electronic device 200 is made of a
metal material, and the antenna structure 100 is a metal frame antenna. Certainly,
in other embodiments, the antenna structure 100 is not limited to the metal frame
antenna, and may alternatively be a mode decoration antenna (Mode decoration antenna,
MDA) or another antenna. For example, when the antenna structure 100 is an MDA antenna,
a metal member in the chassis of the electronic device 200 is used as the frame body
to implement a radiation function. The chassis of the electronic device 200 is made
of an insulating material such as plastic, and the metal member is integrated with
the chassis through insert molding.
[0084] In conclusion, as full curved screens approach the extreme, the antenna structure
100 in the present invention may implement both middle/high band (MHB) low SAR and
low band (LB) radiation performance. That is, slot position and slot width of the
antenna are designed, and frame body position and slot coupling current strength are
adjusted, so as to affect a distribution concentrated and dispersed degree of current
on the antenna frame body. The antenna structure 100 increases a current distribution
area of a middle/high band (MHB) CRLH mode (for example, adjusts an electrical length
of the second radiation part F2) and also cooperates with a parasitic frame body of
a middle/high band (MHB) to shunt current, so as to reduce the SAR. In addition, for
a slot (that is, the second slot 121) provided in the side frame body, a low band
(LB) bottom feed is used, and the CRLH mode is mainly used as the resonance mode.
Different from an IFA mode, the CRLH mode has the characteristics of miniaturization
and being mainly based on transverse components, thereby being less affected by side
curved screens. Further, side slots can help improve a side longitudinal component;
in addition, joint tuning of switches can improve low band (LB) FS efficiency and
also adjust a middle/high band (MHB) parasitic resonance, so that characteristics
of middle/high band (MHB) performance and low SAR are ensured, and power does not
need to be greatly reduced to control the SAR.
[0085] The foregoing implementations are merely intended to describe the technical solutions
of the present invention, but not intended to constitute any limitation. Although
the present invention is described in detail with reference to the foregoing example
implementations, a person of ordinary skill in the art should understand that modifications

without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present
invention. A person skilled in the art can also make various changes to design of
the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention,
